Using Business Impact Analysis to Inform Risk Prioritization and Response

Understanding risk starts with knowing how disruptions impact an organization. The Business Impact Analysis (BIA) goes beyond disaster recovery—it helps leaders identify which assets are most critical and vulnerable to cyber threats. By integrating cybersecurity risk management (CSRM) with enterprise risk strategies, organizations can prioritize threats, improve decision-making, and align security efforts with business goals. A structured BIA process ensures organizations can anticipate, evaluate, and respond to potential risks before they escalate.
